Did You Know?

As we prepare for our mission trip, I'm doing some research and learning more about the culture, people and environment of Haiti. Here are some quick-read stats and bullet points...

• Haiti's religion is voodoo.

• 10% of the child population in Haiti will die before the age of 4.

• Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

• 7% (337,000) of the children in Haiti are enslaved. They are as young as 3 years old. They often suffer sexual, emotional, physical abuse.

• $25 can feed more than 70 starving people,

• The language of the Haiti people is Creole.

• 45% of the Haitian population is illiterate.

• $50 can provide medical care for more than seven people.

• 70% of the population lives below poverty level.

• $100 or more can provide an abandoned child with a bed, food and medical treatment for almost a month.

Reaching Out

Here begins the process of an experience that will surely change our lives. Below is a letter that Sean and I are sending out, this week, to our family and close friends as we reach out for financial contributions and prayers for our journey and mission to Haiti.

Dear friends and family,

Sean and I have recently made the exciting decision to go on a mission trip with a 20-person group from Red Rocks Church. On Thursday, October 22nd, we will be traveling to Haiti (the poorest country in the Western hemisphere) to support a pastor who has planted over 30 mountain village churches.

During our 8-day trip to Haiti, we will be visiting 2 or 3 of these churches to help reach out within their communities by providing medical exams, medical relief,and health education. The villages are very remote and some people walk for days to see a doctor. We will also be spending time working among children at an orphanage that has been founded by this same pastor.



Sean and I have been praying about this decision for months. God has become very clear in putting this responsibility on our hearts, and we feel strongly that He will rock our world through this opportunity. When we look at Marley, it breaks our hearts to think about children her age who are without parents, food and clean
water,and the medical attention they need to survive. Our conclusion is that it is time for us to get out of our comfort zone and take advantage of this challenge that we are being presented with.

We are asking you to be a part of this mission trip by investing in our lives and in the lives of the people we will connect with in Haiti. During the month of August, Sean and I will be working very hard to raise $3,000 to put towards this mission trip. Our first deadline for trip/materials costs is September 1st. We will need to complete our payments throughout the month of September. Any amount you give will be greatly appreciated. Contributions can be mailed, in the form of a check,(payable to Red Rocks Church) to our home address:

2114 Candleglow St.
Castle Rock, CO 80109



Whether you are able to contribute financially or not, we ask that you keep us and our mission in your prayers. Specifically, we are praying for God to guide us in this endeavor, to keep us safe, and to prepare the hearts of the people we will meet so that we can have an impact on their lives.

Thank you for helping to make this opportunity become a reality for Sean and me.

Looking up!
-Sara Wrenn
